Atomic force microscopy reveals three distinct dynamic states in individual polymer chain segments on surfaces, challenging ...

The molecular-scale design of materials is one of the major frontiers in modern science. Flat, highly conjugated organic molecules are already used in advanced technologies such as chemical sensors, ...

Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

Sergei Kalinin, Weston Fulton Professor of Materials Science and Engineering in the University of Tennessee, Knoxville's Tickle College of Engineering, has received a 2026 Southeastern Conference ...

AN international team of scientists has created a molecule unlike any previously known, demonstrating how quantum computing can help scientists uncover new forms of matter that traditional computing ...

The molecular-scale design of materials is one of the major frontiers in modern science. Flat, highly conjugated organic molecules are already used in ...

Polymer-based adhesives are essential for bonding lightweight materials used in transportation; however, how individual polymer chains behave at solid interfaces has remained unclear. In a recent ...

Kyushu University researchers have directly observed, for the first time, how individual polymers—chain-like molecules—behave when in contact with solid surfaces. Published in the Journal of the ...

A research team of the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently studied two lunar meteorites, revealing for the first time a magma recharge event on the moon about ...

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics.

Kyushu University researchers have directly observed, for the first time, how individual polymers—chain-like molecules—behave when in ...
